Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits

Oikos, EarlyView.
According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

Floral resource diversity drives spatiotemporal variation in plant–pollinator network structure

Oikos, EarlyView.
Mechanisms underlying community assembly, including those related to species interactions, vary across space and time. Plant–pollinator networks exemplify these dynamics, where link rewiring and turnover mediate adaptations to environmental changes. Bees rely on diverse floral resources (e.g.

Exploration of the Phytochemical and Antidiabetic Properties of Teucrium polium: A Natural Asset for Type 2 Diabetes Management

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Teucrium polium shows antidiabetic activity with its phytochemical composition and biological activities. The essential oil is rich in carvacrol, thymol, γ‐terpinene, and o‐cymene, while the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts are characterized by poliumoside, verbascoside, isorhamnetin‐3‐O‐rutinoside, and apigenin‐7‐rutinoside. Antioxidant activity is

Development of a Sustainable Biocatalytic Process for Geranyl Benzoate Production Using Immobilized Lipase

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
This study optimized solvent‐free geranyl benzoate production using Lipozyme 435, achieving 72% conversion in 6 hours. Open reactors improved yields (>99% in 48 hours) by removing inhibitorymethanol. Methyl benzoate reduced enzyme activity by 54%, though Lipura Flex showed better resistance. Human cell tests confirmed no cytotoxicity.

Opium trade and use during the Late Bronze Age: Organic residue analysis of ceramic vessels from the burials of Tel Yehud, Israel

Archaeometry, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Organic residue analysis was conducted on various vessels from burials at Tel Yehud, Israel. The analyses led to new reliable evidence for the presence of opioid alkaloids and their decomposition products. This research revitalizes a decades‐old discussion on the presence and function of the opium trade across a cultural region of utmost ...

Bimetallic M2B Boride Nanoparticles: A Robust and Recyclable Platform for Dehydration‐Driven Condensation of Aldehydes

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Metal borides (MBs) emerge as a versatile class of nanomaterials, featuring high stability and bifunctional Lewis‐acidic/basic active sites. Despite these properties, their applications in CN bond formation are less explored. Herein, we report the first systematic use of M2B‐type boride nanoparticles as efficient and magnetically recoverable catalysts
